Bodendorf is a 150-inhabitant district of Haldensleben in the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt .

history

Coin finds on the castle grounds from the time of the Byzantine emperor Anastasius (491–518) indicate old trade routes. An early mention goes back to the year 995. Documents from the 12th u. 13th century testify that a castrum existed here. The two Bodendorfer reservoir ponds, the castle pond and the mill pond, possibly point to a monastery settlement.

In 1485 Bodendorf came as a loan from Archbishop Ernst of Magdeburg to the family of the Lords of Schulenburg . Matthias III vd Schulenburg (1488–1542), put on a Vorwerk around 1530 . Solid wooden ceilings, vaulted cellars and the base of a stair tower are reminiscent of this time. At that time the building was probably only 20 × 6 meters in size, two-story, with a stair tower on the park side and, together with the walls that are still adjacent to the village today, formed a typical defensive system of the time. Matthias III moved to the Turkish campaign with two sons and died in 1542.

Bodendorf then went through Daniel I (1538–1594) and Matthias V. (1578–1656), to Alexander III. (1616–1681), who, like his father and grandfather, was also a Magdeburg district administrator.

Around 1698, his son, Daniel Ludolf von der Schulenburg (1667–1741), as well as Magdeburg District Administrator but also Braunschweig-Lüneburgischer Drost, expanded the Vorwerk and had today's castle built from red rubble. Another district administrator of the Neuhaldensleben district , Count Leopold von der Schulenburg (1769–1826), married to Ernestine d'Orville, Edle v. Löwenclau, rebuilt the castle to its present form around 1800. Inside, the salons are designed as an enfilade like a tent camp . Until the expropriation in 1946, Bodendorf Castle was continuously owned by the vd Schulenburg family for over 450 years and was the center of an estate and forestry operation.

On September 30, 1928, the Bodendorf manor district was converted into a rural community .

The Bodendorfer Gutsanlage is still partially recognizable today. In the village you can still find some workers' houses, the former, also listed, old school building with an extension (there was a schoolmaster in Bodendorf from 1711), the former blacksmith's shop, old barns and, again and again, old wall surrounds.

After 1946 the castle was used as a retirement and nursing home. It had been vacant since 1992 and was only bought back in March 2001 by the descendants of the former owners of the district, in need of renovation.

On July 1, 1950, Bodendorf was incorporated into the community of Süplingen.

With the dissolution of the municipality of Süplingen , the place came to the city of Haldensleben on January 1, 2014.

Bodendorf Castle

The two-storey, baroque rectangular building made of reddish quarry stone was built at the end of the 17th century by Daniel Ludolf vd Schulenburg, who added a chapel to it in 1709, extending the longitudinal front. Around 1800 a classicist hall was built on the park side with pilasters and stucco garland decorations. The stair tower attached to the east dates from 1910/1920. The house is privately owned.

chapel

Castle chapel

The chapel from 1709 is built to the west of the house. Instead of the current square roof turret, the chapel had a half-timbered tower with a tail roof. Above the entrance is the donor inscription of Daniel Ludolf von der Schulenburg and Johanna Susanna von Dieskau. Inside is the original Baroque furnishings, especially the altar wall, in the center of which is a concave, curved, column-flanked pulpit with the coats of arms of Daniel Ludolf von der Schulenburg and his two wives Dorothea Lucia von Mandelsloh and Johanna Susanna von Dieskau . Opposite used to be a correspondingly structured two-storey wall with the patronage chair and direct access to the castle. "Inside, with its Corinthian columns, marbled carvings and boxes, it looks like a pious court theater." v. Hymns .

Kitchen house

To the east of the castle is the former kitchen house from 1815, which is connected to the main house by an underground passage. Here you can find the year 1815 and the name of the builder, Leopold Graf und Ritter vd Schulenburg.

Garden pavilion

A park behind the castle originally extended into “Bodendorfer Switzerland” with the castle and mill ponds. In earlier times there was a waterfall and a "romantic" bridge from the Biedermeier period. An octagonal garden pavilion with an open roof and stained glass windows, dated 1826, is built into the park wall. A terrace with a Biedermeier railing opens onto the pond.

Pigeon house

Pigeon house

In front of the castle on the west wall of the manor stands the square pigeon house made of fieldstone plinth, half-timbered upper floor and hipped mansard roof from 1777.

Gate and horse stable

On the west corner of the ehm. There is a semicircular crenellated wall with a gate and the Schulenburg coat of arms. From there you can see the former horse stable.

Gardening

The former nursery is located on the east side of the estate. The building is clearly recognizable on the old engraving from 1840 (on the left on the park wall). There was also a nursery there during the GDR era. The very old half-timbered building is still hidden under the plaster.
